Annie is loveAnnie is lifeI love Annie from the bottom of my heart and the core of my soulAnnie a miracle of the universeAnnie might've done some things wrong, but she's still a beautiful person inside and out

>>112838131>That's probably why I want him to live until the end of the series the mostNot gonna happen ;_; I was hoping he'd live to see the fruits of his labor start to ripen though. Some light at the end of the tunnel.

>>112838155>while thousands of innocentsThey may be innocent but they signed up for it. Also considering that SL is 300, and that he's been Commander for less than 5 years and has in that time improved survival rates, it may very well be less than a thousand.

>>112838155Same thing happened to Keith too, yet he's still alive. Though I suppose he's going to be like him if he survives. Live somewhere alone and not allow himself to be happy because of the blood he's shed.

>>112838453Hanji also mentions that Pastor Nick must be among the walls in heaven now that he's dead. Erwin mentions that he's going to hell and Historia says to Ymir that there's no heaven she's getting into heaven. And Maria, Rose and Sina are viewed as the three wall goddesses if I'm correct.

I can only moon a little bit with the help of rikai so here goes (not claiming 100% accuracy):- After Erwin becomes commander, he hasn't had a dream and has been lacking sleep- HELM chatting idly while drinking black tea (status: confirmed)- HLM are the ones who console (rescue?) Erwin when he feels guilty of the deaths he's caused (status: confirmed)- Whenever his comrades are injured, Levi gets nightmares (according to Hange)

>>112839121She might object at first, claiming it's pointless since he wouldn't even be able to handle the training, but if he insisted and picked the right words to convince her, she'd give in. Think their conversation in the alley, except significantly more lighthearted.

>>112840296>Not sure I'd put someone like Connie on there yet, it depends on how he deals with his family dying.This. It's not what happened that matters here, it's how the victim handles it and I think Connie is doing a damn good job. He doesn't seem depressed at all to me.

>>112840526Erwin is a completely different character/personality type, though, and someone like Connie is far less likely to hide his emotions. He was definitely sad about the ordeal, but he seems to be acting like a 'normal' person would and shows no signs of depression.

But >>112840655 could also be right, maybe he's been dying inside all along and we have no way of telling.

>>112839121Where did Annie show any interest in Armin? She would not train him, not only is he incapable of learning those moves, but I don't think he is strong enough physically to even handle those move on him.

>>112840907>Where did Annie show any interest in Armin?She spared him for no apparent reason and purposely took Armin's bait.But I agree, why would she train him? I doubt that Armin would ever show any interest in combat.

>>112841014She took his bait, because she had something planned as well, not really out of interest in Armin. I'm pretty sure the only time they even talked was that good person Annie bit. Annie might be a killer, but she still has human parts to her, and she might have spared him because she didn't want to kill people she knew, and people that weren't really a threat.

>>112840954Even if he gets his 6 hours in increments and sleeps in his bed occasionally, he still should feel fatigued throughout the day, especially since Isayama said he doesn't eat much. How is this even possible with all of the strenuous activity he does.

>>112841151He just said Levi is lax with his diet. Either he really doesn't eat much (and can still function thanks to Ackerman superpowers) or that means he's just not picky about food/doesn't need to eat at regular intervals. I'm guessing it's the latter considering his background.

>>112840721There's little reason to believe she respected Armin more when her fascination with Eren's ideals remained the main focus. You can put them on the same level if you want, but that's it.

>>112841094>and people that weren't really a threatShe did recognize him as a threat, though, and that's what makes it fucking tragic. She also didn't hesitate to kill Jean, suggesting it takes more than an "oh I know you" for her to spare someone.

>>112841218Jean is actually a threat though, because I think he was actually trying to take Annie down. Despite all the shitposters here, he is actually competent with 3DMG, and could potentially hurt Annie. Armin is pretty much characterized as extremely weak physically. Both of those things are probably requisites for Annie thinking about sparing you.

I'm thinking in terms of 3DMG and all. She's great but not as good as Levi is. And I doubt she would've made it alive if she was on his place during the Kenny standoff. Plus she actually eats and gets enough sleep.

>>112841681Just because someone is smart, doesn't mean they will uncover the identity of the FT, and devise a plan to capture her. She didn't know that letting Armin live would come back to haunt her, so on that, you are wrong.

Historia killed a titan fine and was never shown to have problems in training or combat, and no one complained about her spot in top 10. She may not be real top 10 material but she's not a weakling like him.

>>112841823There probably is a correlation between the two, considering Mikasa and Levi have been the best we have seen so far, and they don't have any similarities other than at how strong they are. You can probably get away with more maneuvers when you are stronger, so that's probably it.

>>112841868Again, have Armin/Annie ever interacted with each other outside of that good person Annie talk? How can you just assume Annie knows everything about Armin? She mostly keeps to herself, and doesn't talk to anyone.

>>112841915The stronger you are (more training, muscles, etc) the less fragile. Something that could potentially kill a normal soldier like getting thrown to a tree by a Titan probably would just break Ackermans' ribs.

>>112842177I thought that was a given. Is it possible to be intelligent enough to do the shit Annie saw him doing, but still unable to realize the titan who spared him might've been one of his comrades, then review the other clues and connect the dots?

>>112842408If you seriously thought Annie would intentionally spare Armin, knowing that he had the potential to fuck up her life, then you are just wrong. Annie didn't spend much/any time with Armin, so she wouldn't know exactly how smart he is. Coming up with battle plans against titans is totally different than putting together scattered clues that point to Annie being the FT.

>>112842410Yes you can. Stop overreacting to the' whoa'. The editor thought people would go 'whoa' when they found out armin killed someone, he didn't say 59 was going to fucking blow your minds and answer every single question you have.

His Excellent Royal & Imperial Majesty Captain-General-Field Marshall-Lance Corporal Dr. Levi Rivaille Jaeger-Ackerman-Reiss, by the grace of the Goddesses and blessed by the Trinity of Gary Stus, Emperor of Mankind, King of the Three Walls, Commander of the Scouting Legion, Garrison and Military Police, Coordinate of all Titans, Conqueror of the Galactic Empire, Caliph of Islam, Bishop of Rome, Avatar of Vishnu, Q, Supreme Lord of all the Universes and Multiverses

>>112842493I think she was aware of him being able to do something against her if she had left him live. Just look at her face. She was probably doubting herself, and if Jean didn't interrupt her, she might have killed him.

>>11284277958 was pretty action packed, but was lacking in the development. 59 was lacking in a bit of everything60 was actually good. We got Hanji action and her little side story completed. We get Levi interrogating an CMP guy along with possible reinforcements (Enemy or Ally?), and we got majestic Erwin.

>>112842493>If you seriously thought Annie would intentionally spare Armin, knowing that he had the potential to fuck up her life, then you are just wrongYou don't know Annie, do you? Half of everything she did was just her consciously shooting herself in the foot.

>Coming up with battle plans against titans is totally different than putting together scattered clues that point to Annie being the FT.It all boils down to perceptiveness and strategic skill. Armin excels at both and it's obvious to absolutely everyone around him, especially other smart people. Annie did not need to know him personally to realize that, spending time around him as trainees and participating in his plans was more than enough.

>>112842859>I think volume 14 has had the best sales so farReally? I'm amazed SnK is still doing so good. I was thinking it made have been a quick fad that would go over soon, but it's been a year since the anime ended and the manga sales are still going strong.

Fujos are good for something after all. Erwin's dream story translated:

Erwin Smith doesn’t dream.Actually he doesn’t have enough sleep, and he sleeps deeply, so he barely realizes that he was dreaming.

“Well, it’s not a nightmare right~”“You sure sleep efficiently.”“And, once you wake him up, then he’ll wake up. He’s really a man who’s born to be a commander.”When they talk about this with Hanji of the Survey Corps, it was surprising.

“Not like I don’t have any dreams at all… It’s just that I try to rest my brain, in order to gain some consciousness.”“Then, Erwin used to have strange dreams as well?”A strange dream… Erwin thought of something.When Erwin just joined Survey Corps, he often had nightmares thanks to his regrets and horrors.During those times, he saw people being ‘eaten’ by titans – a gruesome way to kill people, especially from Survey Corps.

“So… I barely sleep. If I do sleep, I’ll have scary dreams about titans.”“Me too. I’ll feel really scared and angry.”“That’s out expreience as newbies in the Survey Corps… by the way, recently there are many volunteers who know about titans.”Listening to Hanji and Mike’s conversation made Erwin laugh, as he took his red tea.“Soon after I became commander… I hardly ever dream.”

Erwin stood there, holding half of his dead comrade’s arm.“From the beginning until now… I haven’t made any progress…”That’s a dream Erwin had shortly after he became commander. A dream left a deep impression in his memory.

“Commander… it’s your fault…”The titan opened its big mouth, and from inside its throat, a soldier who should be dead appeared, with half of his face gone.

“You killed us…”“Right, that’s my decision… I did it!”His hands trembled, almost dropping the arm he was holding. Suddenly the arm moved, grabbing Erwin’s neck.“You too, atone with your death.”“Uh…”The titan saw that he was no longer moving, and as it opened its mouth to eat Erwin –

“You over there, what happened!”“It’s really dangerous, come up!”Suddenly the head of the titan that was going to eat Erwin fell, and someone stretched out his hand to grab Erwin to the horse.“Levi, Hanji?”“You guys are supposed to keep moving forward.”Mike gave a nod, a warning.“Mike… right…”Right… just as Erwin thought so, the blue sky faded away~And the dream ended.

“Ah, right… by sacrificing their happiness, I can keep doing what I am supposed to do.”Pausing his nostalgia, Erwin smiled.

“What? You were about to be attacked by a titan, then?”“No… in that dream, I was scolded by a comrade, and then I thought about my own mission. Becoming a commander requires me to make ruthless decisions.”The comrade he talked about was Levi and the others, however he said nothing about it.

“Oh… so you can sleep in peace now. I envy you~”“You’re too distracted.”“Levi too! When your comrade is hurt, you have nightmares, one of your teammates told me so.”“You guys are fine the way you are… only I need to lose people.”

Erwin Smith doesn’t dream, he only faces reality.If you say he’s not human, he has no objectinos.Because no matter what, the current person he is must rely on his friends in order to stand tall.

>>112844815See>“No… in that dream, I was scolded by a comrade, and then I thought about my own mission. Becoming a commander requires me to make ruthless decisions.”>The comrade he talked about was Levi and the others, however he said nothing about it.

Sasha: I want to marry someone who can fill up my stomach!Connie: I knew it, you potato girl!

>By the way, Connie, what sort of person pulls at your heartstring?Connie: You ask me? Of course she has to be real pretty, wealthy, great personality, somewhat mature, and at night, well, it's that...

Sasha: Such a woman don't exist. Even if she does, she's out of your reach, Connie.Connie: Shut up! She might still exist! Don't you ruin my dream!

- ...Eh, you two are really easy to understand.Sasha: Please do not lump me together with Connie!Connie: Don't lump me together with the potato girl!

I really don't think the scolding he was referring to was only dead soldier because dead soldier just wanted to kill him with guilt, while HLM rag him about being in danger and remind him to keep going forward.

>>112845087>>By the way, Connie, what sort of person pulls at your heartstring?>Connie: You ask me? Of course she has to be real pretty, wealthy, great personality, somewhat mature, and at night, well, it's that...So Geographia?

Just read chapter 56, the torture part. No way would the guy reading the script fall for it. That's retarded. Of course Sanes was close and gonna hear what he was saying what the hell was the point other wise.

>>112844121Hanji's dream wasn't a nightmare, was it? Levi confirmed for having nightmares, (well at least he has a handsome dressed Erwin in it). Now, Erwin is confirmed for not dreaming anymore. All we need is Mike to complete HELM.

>>112846939She's a good actor. Imean she could even feign crying. It could be that she's quiet now because she's depressed but even when we saw her as Christa she seemed more reserved than anything. Also I don't think she was exactly outgoing either, just extremely nice. Ymir is more of the talkative one, especially since she loves poking fun at others.

>>112847109>Eren several times comments on Reiner and Mikasas muscles, and how he wants to get built like that tooEren is muscular, though, isn't he? At least in the manga. I know it probably can't compare with Reiner/Mikasa, but still. He's got an eight-pack, for fuck's sake.
